  • the configuration of 9 corresponds to, for example, FIG. 12.
  • the second light guiding plate which is the lower one of the stacked light guiding plates does not necessarily have to have a structure which transmits light entering from the rear surface, and it is therefore possible to use the most reliable and low-cost backlight method in which the second observer direction is only illuminated. Moreover, when the first light guiding plate and the second light guiding plate have the same shape, the influence of Moire fringes is caused in some cases, but this can be reduced if the first light guiding plate and the second light guiding plate have different shapes or periodic structures.
  • the configuration of 10 corresponds to, for example, FIG. 4 and FIG. 8.
  • the two light guiding plates having different directivities are combined, but if the first light guiding plate is horizontally reversed, the second light guiding plate can be used in the same shape as the first light guiding plate.
